However, she will be back

Mailout! Written with Love
Morning,
I love sunrises. They're really great. I also love lie-ins but they don't come around too often so I have learnt to love sunrises instead.
Anyway, the reason for my early start today is because we have such a stuffed show this evening. I kid you not, there is more

The Recharged Mailout of Rocks n' Rolls
Afternoon.
Hope you're having a good four day week. It always manages to throw me; as far as I'm concerned it's Wednesday so this email is going out at the correct time. I think I should term this phenomenon as 'Bank Holiday-lag'. London Metro, feel free to pinch that and put it

A better way to start a Friday ...

No, nothing exotic about this mailout, though rum will be served in the bar at 7pm. Just wanted to get you in a good frame of mind.
